There is probably no concept other than saving for which U.S. official agencies issue annual estimates that differ by more
than a third, as they have done for net household saving, or for which reputable scholars claim that the correct measure is
close to ten times the officially published one. Yet despite agreement among economists and policymakers on the importance
of this measure, huge inconsistencies persist. Contributors to this volume investigate ways to improve aggregate and sectoral
saving and investment estimates and analyze microdata from recent household wealth surveys. They provide

The purpose of this paper is to call attention to the need for a theory of comparative national price levels and to explore
some of the elements that seem to belong to such a theory. Most theoretical discussions have maintained that national price
levels tend towards equality and focus on presumably temporary divergences from equality. Yet strong evidence has been accumulating
that there are large and long-standing differences inprice levels, the highest of which are more than twice those of countries
with the lowest prices. Long-run price level differences are most clearly related to levels of real per capita output, with
richer countries having higher price levels.These differences have been explained as resulting from greater advantages in
productivity for the wealthier countries in goods production, mostly tradable, than in services production, mostly nontradable.
The differences in relative productivity may be in total factor productivity or only in labor productivity, reflecting the
greater capital intensity of goods production and possibly a higher elasticity of substitution between capital and labor in
goods production.We find in the empirical analysis that a large part of the differences in price levels can be explained by
structural factors such as real GDP per capita, the degree of openness of the economy, and the share of nontradable goods
in output. The only non-structural factor emerging from a preliminary analysis of several of these was the rate of growth
of the quantity of money

Economists wish to compare prices, real income, and output across countries and regions for many purposes. In the past, such
comparisons were made in nominal terms, or by using exchange rates across countries, ignoring differences in price levels
and thus distorting the results. Great progress has been made in interspatial comparisons in the past thirty years, but descriptions
and discussions of the new measures have been scattered in unpublished or inaccessible papers. International and Interarea
Comparisons of Income, Output, and Prices includes discussions of developments in the United Nati

Geography and Ownership as Bases for Economic Accounting provides a forum for leading specialists in trade and international
economics to explore whether changes in the world economy have increased the usefulness of economic accounts drawn up on the
basis of ownership rather than of geography. The papers in this volume suggest that ownership-based accounts are helpful in
understanding trade and financial transactions among globalized enterprises

In this volume emanating from the National Bureau of Economic Research's programme in international economics, leading economists
address recent developments in three important areas. The first section of the book focuses on international comparisons of
output and prices, and includes papers that present new measures of product market integration, new methodology to infer relative
factor price changes from quantitative data, and an ongoing capital stock measurement project

This book provides an overview of the conceptual issues relating to the measurement of transnationalization and discusses
the advantages and drawbacks of different measures. Using a variety of measures, the study analyzes trends in transnationalization
for a number of economies: Canada, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, the Republic of Korea, Singapore, Sweden, Switzerland,
Taiwan province of China, The United Kingdom and the United States. This volume documents that, while the overall degree of
transnationalization of the global economy is increasing, there are important differences in the process and phases of transnationalization
among the various economies examined. The most notable difference is the decline in the contribution of developed countries
to the transnationalization of the global economy, while the contribution of developing economies is increasing as measured
by investment.--Publisher's description

The international integration of national economies is a dominant feature of the present time. This book brings together papers
on the determinants and consequences of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the real and financial sectors of industrial countries.
It sheds new light on the determinants of FDI, in particular the role of governmental incentives. Another main topic of this
volume is the role of FDI in the east European accession countries. It provides insights into the question of whether EU enlargement
will have consequences for capital flows into those countries. Since the start of European monetary union the discussion on
cross-border mergers in the European banking industry has intensified. The final part of the book contains contributions to
this debate
